This is a slow movie, and not in a bad way. But what I liked the most about it was that it has a certain inevitability. I felt that everything that happened, had to happen. There is no "if character A had done X instead of Y, the story would be different". I feel this comes from the fact that there are no heroes or villains in this. And there is nothing to distract you. No forced side- stories, no action movie style fight scenes (combat or guns).
The visuals are not what I was used to, but the minimalism (which I believe is very typical of the director, Nicolas Refn) adds to the inexorability of what's to come.
Plus if you have a difficult relation with your mother, perhaps this movie can give you a little perspective.
